EQC botch up again.
Hi there, have just had a call from EQC telling me they will not fix my house and are going to pay me out. The so called builders who did the work on the house didi not do all that was on the scope, eg 10 piles to be packed and jacked spouting to be fixed. They signed off and were paid for their work or lack of it. Anyone out there with the same issues I would be interested to hear from you as I am not sure what steps to take next. My understanding is that your house was to be returned to the status it was before the earthquakes which mine is certainly not. Yes I am insured.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
